Empress Chu

Xie Yanlai hummed: "The eunuchs have seen it, everything is fine, Your Highness."

Xie Yanfang asked: "How is Your Majesty?"

The question is straightforward enough.

Xie Yanlai turned to look at him, then leaned over her shoulders and said in a low voice, "It's not good, whether it's mentally or physically."

What he came back was straightforward enough.

Xie Yanfang nodded: "I know, I will pay more attention to what I say when I see His Majesty."

Xie Yanlai turned her head, then turned back, and smiled: "Maybe I don't need to. After seeing the Tai Tuo, I probably don't need to see Your Majesty anymore."

This sentence——Xie Yanfang thought about it, and probably understood it. Although he only inquired about Deng Yi when he was paying attention to Chu Zhao, but fortunately, he has a good memory and never forgets it. This Deng Yi is the palace gate. official.

Overnight, he became a grand tutor, and he can even decide whether he can see His Majesty.

It can be seen that he has been deeply trusted and entrusted by His Majesty.

The owner of this imperial city at this moment is Deng Yi.

Deng Yi, Xie Yanfang said the name silently again in her heart, a little sighed, the high-ranking officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the royal relatives and relatives showing off their power, who would have thought of a small official who no one would look at more, leaping into the sky.

Life is like this, it seems to be the same, but in fact, we never know what will happen in the next moment, it is changeable and unpredictable, and this is also the joy of being born as a human being.

He didn't ask any more questions, Xie Yanlai didn't take the initiative to say any more, the two brothers passed through the guards and came to the front hall, there were fewer guards in the front hall, but there were more officials, they came and went in a hurry, their expressions were numb and frightened , and whispered whispers, the atmosphere was tense and weird.

"...Where is Mrs. Liao? Sure enough, Zhiqu didn't come?"

"...What's interesting? If you don't know the interesting, you can know the interesting. Taifu Deng directly sent soldiers and horses to tell him not to come..."

"... He really has the final say?"

"...He is now investigating the remnants of the third prince's Zhao family. Do you think it counts? If you say you are, you are not. Who would dare not listen?"

"...Why are there so many soldiers and horses? It doesn't look like a guard."

"...Jingying came in? Impossible, the door is not even open."

Seeing Xie Yan coming in armor, the officials gathered to discuss stopped immediately, and when they saw Xie Yanfang again, they became excited.

"Thank you, Third Young Master!"

"Thank you, Third Young Master, is still here!"

"Third Young Master Xie is indeed safe and sound."

Xie Yanfang didn't look sideways, didn't chat with any officials, and followed Xie Yanlai quickly.

When they came to a palace, there were far fewer guards than the palace where the emperor just now lived, but Xie Yanlai, who was rampant all the way, stopped early.

"Report to the Grand Tutor." He said loudly to the guards in front of the door, "The younger brother of the Crown Princess, Xie Yanfang came back and asked to see me."

……

……

There were no officials gathered in Taifu Hall.

At this moment, there are only Deng Yi and the girl.

Deng Yi sat and flipped through the papers, while Chu Zhao walked back and forth frowning.

"Miss Chu." Deng Yi said, "Why are you in a hurry."

Chu Zhao stopped: "Why don't you rush, Xiao Xun ran away!"

When the matter settled down in the palace, the first thing she did was to ask Uncle Zhong to arrest Xiao Xun, but when Uncle Zhong arrived at the post, there was only a pile of dead bodies, and the prince of Zhongshan and his party were nowhere to be seen, and they searched again in the city. In the end, it was found out that there was a secret passage hidden in a house near the city gate, from where did the prince of Zhongshan escape from the city——

"It's no surprise that the prince of Zhongshan has run away." Deng Yi said, "He's not stupid, and his father is not stupid either. Since he dares to come, he will be able to escape unscathed."

That's true, Xiao Xun's fate is very good, Chu Zhao sighed: "He is not good for His Highness, Mr. Deng—"

Deng Yi raised his eyes, and saw the girl's expectant eyes—it doesn't matter whether it's true or not.

Chu Zhao said: "Your Majesty's safety rests with your lord."

Deng Yi said: "It seems that the safety of Her Highness the Empress does not need to be bothered by this official."

Chu Zhao shook his head and said with a smile: "The courtier is not the queen yet, it is good for the Taifu to call her the princess."

Deng Yi couldn't hold it back this time, he laughed out loud, a bit complicated, looked at the girl in front of him, and remembered what happened in the hall before.

Although she was very surprised to bring soldiers and horses into the city, it was not surprising to learn that Chu Ling had unknown soldiers and horses.

But she said she was going to be queen.

Does she know what she's talking about?

Does she know who she's talking to?

At that moment, Deng Yi, who consciously saw too many surprises, was shocked and had nothing to say.

Chapter 4 Meet

The girl talked eloquently in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is a good idea." She said with sparkling eyes, and took a step forward, "You think, if I become a queen, my father will become the head of the country. He is not only a minister, but also a relative of the little highness. , Your Majesty, you believe that my father can save the lives of my little highness and me, so why don't you just believe that my father can keep your little highness and sit firmly on the throne?"

The emperor seemed to want to say something at that time, but the girl didn't give the emperor a chance to speak, and took another step forward.

"Your Majesty, even if you don't believe it, the world will."

The girl's eyes were shining, as if excited, but also sad and angry.

"When I become a queen, my father will work hard and do everything for me to secure this position."

"What he does, even if it is evil, is not surprising in the eyes of the world."

"Your Majesty, don't you want to see what my father can do for me and Your Highness?"

Hearing this, the emperor who was originally on the dragon bed suddenly laughed out loud.

"Think about it." He smiled and clapped his palms, "Zhen, I really want to see how General Chu can be the head of state."

The emperor who fell into madness because the two princes were abolished was lured by Chu Zhao's crazy idea and agreed.

Deng Yi retracted his memory and looked at the girl standing in front of him at this moment.

"Miss Chu, have you ever thought about it?" He said, "Your Majesty, the flood after his death has nothing to do with him, what about you? The flood will hit you overwhelmingly."

After he finished speaking, he saw the girl and smiled.

"When I didn't do anything, I was hit by the flood." She muttered.

What's the meaning?Deng Yi wanted to say something more, but the guards came to say that Xie Yanfang was here.

Deng Yi also smiled.

"His Royal Highness," he said, "Your Royal Highness's safety does not depend on me. After all, without His Royal Highness, I can still be the Grand Tutor, but without His Royal Highness, Third Young Master Xie cannot be an uncle. Tell him more of your sweet words."

Chu Zhao nodded, but shook his head again.

"The Grand Tutor treats His Highness with the heart of a prince." She whispered, "Mr. Xie is a family member's private interest. I would rather speak more obediently to the Grand Tutor."

Speaking of which, he smiled again.

"The Tai Tuo keeps his word. If he owes me a meal, he will pay me back the favor."

Deng Yi laughed: "Miss Chu, if you ask Mr. Xie to owe you a meal, he will pay you back more favors."

Chu Zhao nodded: "Third Master Xie will indeed return favors, but I am afraid that Third Young Master Xie will not give me a chance to owe me a meal."

Deng Yi said: "Because I am poor, Mr. Xie is not short of money, right?"

"Master Deng." Chu Zhao shouted angrily and amusedly.

She didn't believe what she meant, Deng Yi couldn't hear it, she was praising him, or, even if she was talking about the rich and the poor, she was saying that he was poor just like her, and because of the embarrassment of the situation, she was able to If you get married over a meal, you will repay the favor of another meal.

Deng Yi raised his hand to stop it, stopped arguing with the little girl, and said to the guard: "Please come in, Third Young Master."

The guard answered yes, but didn't turn around to leave, and asked again: "Xie Yanlai came with him, should he come in too or stay away?"

Deng Yi glanced at Chu Zhao.

Chu Zhao didn't care if he looked at him, and said directly: "Let him come in, and listen too." After speaking, he muttered, "But he may not be willing to come in."

The guard turned around and went out, and the hall returned to silence.

Deng Yi looked at the girl who stopped pacing, but looked out.

"Also," he said, "thanks for taking care of my mother."

Chu Zhao looked at him and said with a smile, "Did Mr. Deng contact the family?"

When she decided to come to the imperial city, she didn't know that Deng Yi was in the imperial city. She thought that he was the man who was destined to be a tutor after all, so she asked the scouts of the Longwei army if they knew about Deng Yi's family, and the scouts really knew about Deng Yi. A few people were sent there to avoid accidents to Deng Yi.

Later Deng Yi met in the palace, but she didn't mention it.

Although Deng Yi was in the palace, Long Weijun, a member of Deng Yi's family, also took care of him.

Deng Yi nodded: "My father and brother died early, and there is only one blind old mother. I originally thought that I could not take care of it, so I felt regretful." He glanced at Chu Zhao, "Miss Chu, this is much more than I owe a meal."

That's really great, Chu Zhao laughed: "Your Majesty is being polite, it's nothing, and I didn't help you, Mr. Deng, you have an extraordinary destiny and profound blessings."

But she didn't look like nothing, Deng Yi looked at the girl's cheerful appearance, a little funny, shook his head, didn't say anything, and there were footsteps outside the door.

"Xie Yanfang, pay my respects to Master Taifu."

……

……

Hearing Deng Yijian, although the guard said that Xie Yanlai could also go in, Xie Yanlai did not go in.

"Tell her that His Royal Highness is looking for her." He said to the guard.

It sounded endless, but the guard nodded and said hello.

Xie Yanlai saluted Xie Yanfang: "I'm going to work." She turned her head and left.

"Yan Lai." Xie Yanfang shouted.

Xie Yanlai stopped and turned around, looking at him.

"If you need anything, just say it." Xie Yanfang said.

Xie Yanlai smiled: "Okay, I will." After saying that, he strode away.

Du Qi said: "He was not so obedient before."

Xie Yanfang glanced at him: "You never said so much to him before, do you care or are you afraid?"

Du Qi's face froze, and he lowered his head: "This subordinate knows his mistake."

Xie Yanfang stopped talking, nodded to the guard, walked towards the main hall, did not go in directly at the door, but asked again.

The sound of footsteps came first from the hall, accompanied by a crunchy female voice.

"Three sons."

Xie Yanfang raised her head and saw the girl rushing towards her.

He didn't think it was a big surprise, but many things were figured out.

Since His Royal Highness has returned to the palace, it means that the Chu family is safe, and it is normal for Miss Chu, who can guarantee the safety of His Royal Highness, to follow her into the palace.

Those strange soldiers and horses.

Xie Yanlai was able to defend the city, and faintly became the leader.

His Highness is getting close to Xie Yanlai.

The elder sister that His Royal Highness was looking for.

Xie Yanlai stepped across the threshold: "Miss Ah Zhao."

Chu Zhao stood still in front of him: "It's great that you're here, are you okay?" She looked Xie Yanfang up, down, left, and right.

Hearing her three words, Xie Yanfang had a complicated expression.

"I'm useless, Miss Fei reminded me again and again." He said, looking at Chu Zhao again, "Fortunately, with you here, His Highness was able to be saved."

Chu Zhao was also in a very complicated mood. He didn't expect to remind the third son Xie, but he still couldn't stop the incident from happening.

"It's not your fault," she said, "it's fate."
